Why does my IP location show me in the wrong place?

So I did a speed test recently and it showed my IP as coming from Kansas. I am located in Southern California using Roadrunner cable. Is this anything to be concerned about or is it somewhat normal? I've never seen it showing me in another state like that.

I am not using any sort of proxy.

Edit: Also when doing a speed test and selecting a more near by server (not Kansas) to test from, my speeds are completely fine. They're about the same when selecting a Kansas server too expect the pings closer to 90 instead of 30.

Not really sure how to use this. Putting in the IP and searching gives back 3 places that give locations, but none of them have anything listed (There is just - under ISP, Region, country, location etc)
